“In The Beginning . . .”

About the Art “In The Beginning . . . ”

There are three famous images of George Washington, the Portrait by Rembrandt Peale; Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze; and General George Washington on Horseback on the battlefield at Trenton, a lithograph. You will also find George Washington’s inaugural address, written in his own hand with his signature at the bottom. You will see representations of *The Bill Of Rights,* *The Declaration of Independence,* and the *U. S. Constitution.* Also, there are the original 13 Stars representing the original colonies. And finally the flag stripes and bald eagle which is from a painting I did that has become SOAR’s logo. The title represents the beginning of our Country, the first President of our Country, the beginning of these grass roots movements, and hopefully our return to the beginning – returning to God.

The painting of “In The Beginning” has been turned into a mural and is on display for the community courtesy of Altoona Resident and Attorney Eric Borseth and proudly sponsored by SOAR. A huge thank-you to Jim Carley, Bob Richards and Don Jennings for spending most of a very hot day putting the mural and quotation from George Washington on display. The artwork by Simply Brie is on display in Altoona at the intersection of 1st Ave N and 1st St E. This is directly south of the railroad tracks. Brochures are available at the site, and if you are interested in a print of “In The Beginning,” please contact Simply Brie.
